This is a fabulous property with lovely hosts. Who would not want to stay in their own castle? We loved it so much this is our second visit.

The Folly is an amazing structure and lovingly converted and maintained. The welcome pack was very welcome. The only addition I would suggest is some hooks on doors for hanging clothes and wet towels.

Absolutely loved staying at the tower!! So peaceful but yet not too far to the sea and local town. The accommodation is beautiful and so cosy!! Myself, my husband and our 13 year old daughter stayed here for 3 nights, our 13 year old can’t wait to go back and neither can we!! Definitely my favourite place to stay and we won’t hesitate about coming back. Accommodation has everything you need. Yvonne and Wayne were really welcoming and the hamper was a lovely surprise. Thank you for letting us stay in your amazing property!! Five stars all the way from us!!

Map
Seaham, County Durham, UK
Coast/Beach:
Beaches and coastline are a twenty minute walk
Travel:
Newcastle Airport is thirty mile away
Distances:
Hawthorn village is two mile away. Seaham is located 4 miles from the property with Durham, Sunderland, Hartlepool and Newcastle all within easy driving distances.
Further Details:
Although Kinley Tower is located rurally all facilities can be reached within easy driving distances, the town of Seaham has had over the years millions spent improving the dock area and also incorporates shopping facilities inc Byron Place and Dalton Park.
Kinley Tower is close to some of the North East's great shore fishing points and also close by, trout angling is available on ponds at Warden Law. With plenty of walking available, historic towns and cities close by and a local pub that serves home cooked food hopefully you'll find lots to explore in the North East of England
